Selecting the Ink Emulation Mode
Your printer can emulate the color behavior of offset printing presses, allowing you
to use your printer for color proofing. To get accurate colors for your proof, select
the color emulation mode that matches your offset printing standards. The
selections are:
■ Native - No ink emulation, uses HP DesignJet CP CMYK Ink settings.
■ SWOP - U.S. Specification for Web Offset Printing.
■ TOYO - Japan standard for offset press.
■ EuroScale- European standard for offset press.
■ Enhanced - Optimized version of “Native”.
The Enhanced Native mode is an optimized version of the Native mode color values
will printed without adjustment unless they are likely to cause printing problems, in
which case they will be adjusted to safer values.
Enhanced Native mode gives the biggest color gamut without compromising print
quality.
The enhanced Native mode applies ink limitations (200%) to control ink volume
and minimize cockle and gloss unevenness (caused by too much ink on the media).
It does not apply any color mapping.
CAUTION If your application generates CMYK color values and you select Native ink
emulation (no color adjustment), the printer may apply an excessive amount of
ink which may affect image quality on some types of media. In extreme cases
(more than 200% ink density) coated paper may become saturated, resulting in
serious printhead damage.
